Abstract
Description
本发明涉及一种依照权利要求1的前序部分的、用于同步被划分成无线电小区的无线电通信系统的方法。The invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1 for synchronizing a radio communication system which is divided into radio cells.
在蜂窝式无线电通信系统中,由于必要的载频复用,在毗邻的无线电小区中导致作为所谓“Cochannel-Interference”的同信道干扰。为了减少这种干扰,将可用的载频分配到各个的载频部分资源。因而借助于所谓的“频率重用Frequency-Reuse”规划,将每个载频部分资源分别这样固定地分配给无线电小区,从而在无线电小区中在考虑无线电小区的最小空间距离的情况下仅仅导致最小的同信道干扰。In cellular radio communication systems, due to the necessary multiplexing of carrier frequencies, co-channel interference known as “co-channel interference” occurs in adjacent radio cells. In order to reduce this interference, the available carrier frequencies are allocated to individual carrier frequency partial resources. With the aid of the so-called "Frequency Reuse" planning, each carrier frequency sub-resource is thus assigned in each case to a radio cell in such a way that, taking into account the minimum spatial distance of the radio cells, only the minimum co-channel interference.
载频或其传输资源的这种固定分配特别地因而在以下情况中是不利的,即在毗邻的无线电小区内出现不均匀分布的用户数量。无线电小区之一的、所考察的需要无线电覆盖提高的用户数量的基站因而对传输资源有提高的要求。如果接着出现传输资源的缺失,那么在所考察的无线电小区中请求新的数据传输的用户就被拒绝。Such a fixed allocation of carrier frequencies or their transmission resources is thus disadvantageous in particular when an unevenly distributed number of subscribers occurs in adjacent radio cells. The base station of one of the radio cells, the number of subscribers under consideration requiring increased radio coverage, therefore places increased demands on the transmission resources. If a lack of transmission resources ensues, a user requesting a new data transmission in the radio cell under consideration is rejected.
相应地,当用户数量提高时出现在无线电通信系统内的同信道干扰,所述同信道干扰由于具有确定的频率重用因数(“频率重用因数”)的“频率重用”规划而可以仅仅有限地受影响。Correspondingly, when the number of subscribers increases, co-channel interference occurs within the radio communication system, which can only be limited to a limited extent due to a "frequency reuse" plan with a defined frequency reuse factor ("frequency reuse factor"). Influence.
传输资源的提高,这例如在大型集会时通过后续引入其他基站来实施,由于同信道干扰的增加而不能随便地采用简单的装置来实现。必要时必须再次实施花费大的“频率重用”规划。An increase in transmission resources, which is implemented, for example, in the case of large gatherings by subsequent introduction of further base stations, cannot be easily achieved with simple means due to increased co-channel interference. Expensive "frequency reuse" planning must be carried out again if necessary.
尤其是对于未来一代的蜂窝式结构的移动无线电网络,应用所谓的“正交频分复用”、简称“OFDM”传输技术是非常重要的。这种OFDM移动无线电网络例如为了视频传输而要求较高的数据速率,所述较高数据速率能够借助于OFDM传输技术来传输。在此,为了传输用户数据流,相互并行地同时使用多个所谓的子载频。通过多个具有一般相同的带宽的无线电传输信道来实现带宽更宽的传输信道。这种OFDM可以再次依赖于要实施的关于同信道干扰的“频率重用”规划加以构建。Especially for mobile radio networks of the cellular structure of the future generation, it is very important to use the so-called "orthogonal frequency division multiplexing", "OFDM" transmission technology for short. Such OFDM mobile radio networks require, for example, high data rates for video transmission, which can be transmitted by means of OFDM transmission technology. In this case, a plurality of so-called subcarrier frequencies are used in parallel with one another for the transmission of the user data stream. A transmission channel with a wider bandwidth is realized by means of a plurality of radio transmission channels having generally the same bandwidth. Such OFDM can again be structured depending on the "frequency reuse" plan to be implemented with respect to co-channel interference.
宽带无线电传输信道是“时间弥散的”,并且遭受频率选择的衰减,从而在接收侧典型地需要复杂的校正。在OFDM传输中,无线电传输信道被划分成多个更窄的子信道,从而在每一个子信道上经历“平坦衰减”而不是频率选择衰减,由此使得非常简单的、典型的“单输出(single-tap)”校正称为可能。Wideband radio transmission channels are "time dispersive" and suffer from frequency selective fading, typically requiring complex corrections on the receiving side. In OFDM transmission, the radio transmission channel is divided into a number of narrower sub-channels so that each sub-channel experiences "flat attenuation" rather than frequency selective attenuation, thus enabling very simple, typical "single output ( single-tap)" correction is called possible.
在最简单的情况下,给这些无线电传输信道中的每一个信道分别配属相同的调制方案并由此配属相同的传输比特率。在此,所配属的传输比特率依赖于各个无线电传输信道的干扰加以确定。相较于在具有较高干扰的无线电传输信道中所应用的调制方法,在具有较小干扰的无线电传输信道上应用更高级别的调制方法。由此能够例如在考虑误码率的情况下,针对每个无线电传输信道实施具有所要求的业务质量的传输。这种OFDM多载波方法在基带中有线传输的情况下是已知的,也称为“离散多音频传送discrete multitone transmission”,简称为“DMT”。In the simplest case, each of the radio transmission channels is assigned the same modulation scheme and thus the same transmission bit rate. In this case, the associated transmission bit rate is determined as a function of the interference of the individual radio transmission channels. A higher order modulation method is used on the radio transmission channel with less interference than the modulation method used on the radio transmission channel with higher interference. It is thus possible, for example, to carry out a transmission with the required quality of service for each radio transmission channel, taking into account the bit error rate. This OFDM multi-carrier method is known in the context of wired transmission in baseband and is also known as "discrete multitone transmission", or "DMT" for short.
在图3中,对于所有移动无线电系统代表性地示出依照现有技术的蜂窝OFDM无线电通信系统。三个毗邻的无线电小区FZ1至FZ3分别具有所配属的基站BTS01至BTS03。基站BTS01至BTS03中每个单独的基站服务多个分别配属于无线电小区FZ1至FZ3的移动站T01至T12。在此,根据频率重用规划,给第一无线电小区FZ1的第一基站BTS01分配总共四个载频f9至f12,给第二无线电小区FZ2的第二基站BTS02分配总共四个载频f1至f4,给第三无线电小区FZ3的第三基站BTS03分配总共四个载频f5至f8,专门用于数据传输。In FIG. 3 a cellular OFDM radio communication system according to the prior art is shown representatively for all mobile radio systems. Three adjacent radio cells FZ1 to FZ3 each have an associated base station BTS01 to BTS03 . Each individual base station of the base stations BTS01 to BTS03 serves a plurality of mobile stations T01 to T12 respectively assigned to a radio cell FZ1 to FZ3 . Here, a total of four carrier frequencies f9 to f12 are assigned to the first base station BTS01 of the first radio cell FZ1 and a total of four carrier frequencies f1 to f4 are assigned to the second base station BTS02 of the second radio cell FZ2 according to the frequency reuse plan, A total of four carrier frequencies f5 to f8 are assigned to the third base station BTS03 of the third radio cell FZ3 exclusively for data transmission.
在称作“下行链路”DL的从基站到移动站的连接方向上,载频f1至f12中的每一个载频具有七个时隙TS1至TS7作为传输资源,而在称作“上行链路”UL的从移动站到基站的连接方向上,载频f1至f12中的每一个载频具有五个时隙TS1至TS5作为传输资源。示例性地,空闲的未使用的时隙配属于载频f2、f7和f11,并且用字母“F”表示。In the connection direction from the base station to the mobile station called "downlink" DL, each of the carrier frequencies f1 to f12 has seven time slots TS1 to TS7 as transmission resources, while in the direction called "uplink" Each of the carrier frequencies f1 to f12 has five time slots TS1 to TS5 as transmission resources in the direction of connection from the mobile station to the base station in "UL". By way of example, free unused time slots are assigned to carrier frequencies f2 , f7 and f11 and are designated with the letter "F".
在图4中概括地示出在图3中所述的无线电小区FZ1至FZ3的对应于现有技术的同步情况。FIG. 4 schematically shows the state of the art synchronization of the radio cells FZ1 to FZ3 described in FIG. 3 .
所述各个基站BTS01至BTS03相互既不是频率同步的又不是时间同步的。垂直地,针对每一个单独的基站BTS01至BTS03,分别示出基站特定的载频偏差Delta01至Delta03。这些载频偏差Delta01至Delta03对每个单独的基站BTS01至BTS03是由基站的各电气组件、例如基站专用的本地振荡器所引起的。因为移动站T01至T012被分别同步到所配属的基站BTS01至BTS03,所以基站BTS01至BTS03和相应所配属的移动站T01至T012彼此分别具有载频偏差Delta01至Delta03。The individual base stations BTS01 to BTS03 are neither frequency nor time synchronized with one another. Vertically, the base station-specific carrier frequency offsets Delta01 to Delta03 are shown for each individual base station BTS01 to BTS03 respectively. These carrier frequency deviations Delta01 to Delta03 are caused for each individual base station BTS01 to BTS03 by individual electrical components of the base station, for example a base station-specific local oscillator. Since the mobile stations T01 to T012 are each synchronized to the associated base stations BTS01 to BTS03 , the base stations BTS01 to BTS03 and the corresponding associated mobile stations T01 to T012 each have a carrier frequency offset from one another by Delta01 to Delta03 .
根据US 5,872,774,已知一种“从属基站”到“参考基站”的同步。在此,所述“从属基站”经由移动站接收“参考基站”的消息,所述移动站处在所述的两个基站之间在所谓的“软切换区”中。在应用“往返延迟”测量的情况下,实现“从属基站”的同步。From US 5,872,774 a synchronization of a "slave base station" to a "reference base station" is known. In this case, the "slave base station" receives the message of the "reference base station" via a mobile station which is located between the two base stations in the so-called "soft handover zone". Synchronization of the "slave base stations" is achieved with the "round trip delay" measurement applied.
根据WO 00/35117 A2已知一种同步,其中在所考察的基站上直接测量在毗邻基站之间的时间差。根据预先已知的基站位置坐标来确定和消除相对的时间差。针对以下情况,即在所考察的基站上不能够直接测量毗邻基站的基站信号,为了转交所述基站信号而使用“固定的移动站fixed mobile”,所述“固定的移动站”配置在所谓的“软切换区”。A synchronization is known from WO 00/35117 A2 in which the time difference between adjacent base stations is measured directly at the base station under consideration. Relative time differences are determined and eliminated based on previously known base station location coordinates. For the case where it is not possible to directly measure the base station signals of adjacent base stations at the base station under consideration, a "fixed mobile station" is used for forwarding the signals of said base station, said "fixed mobile station" being arranged in a so-called "Soft Handoff Area".
本发明所基于的任务是,这样实现蜂窝式无线电通信系统、特别是OFDM无线电传输系统,从而在关注最小同信道干扰情况下,用户既在高通信量时、又在低通信量时以最佳地利用无线电传输资源的方式被无线电覆盖。The invention is based on the task of implementing a cellular radio communication system, in particular an OFDM radio transmission system, in such a way that the subscribers operate optimally both at high and low traffic levels, with regard to minimum co-channel interference. The manner in which radio transmission resources are utilized efficiently is covered by the radio.
本发明的任务通过权利要求1的特征来解决。有利的改进方案在从属权利要求中加以说明。The object of the invention is achieved by the features of claim 1 . Advantageous refinements are specified in the dependent claims.
根据本发明,在基站方面确定多个有效移动站的数目,并且将其与至少一个预定的阈值进行比较。依赖于所述的一个阈值或多个阈值,选择或使用第一同步方法或第二同步方法。According to the invention, the base station determines the number of active mobile stations and compares it with at least one predetermined threshold value. Depending on said threshold or thresholds, a first synchronization method or a second synchronization method is selected or used.
下面代表性地和示范性地以一个预定的阈值为出发点。A predetermined threshold is used as a starting point representatively and exemplarily below.
在有效移动站数量较少时,亦即在低于预定阈值时,使用第一同步方法,所述第一同步方法根据配属于无线电通信系统的传输标准加以构建。例如,在UMTS无线电通信系统中,依照所配属的UMTS标准来实现基站和移动站的同步。When the number of active mobile stations is low, ie below a predetermined threshold, a first synchronization method is used which is designed according to the transmission standard assigned to the radio communication system. For example, in a UMTS radio communication system, the synchronization of base stations and mobile stations takes place in accordance with the associated UMTS standard.
在有效移动站数量较多时,亦即在超出预定的阈值时,使用下文描述的第二同步方法。When the number of active mobile stations is high, ie when a predetermined threshold is exceeded, the second synchronization method described below is used.
在第一同步方法中,以与第二同步方法相比较少的有效移动站数量为出发点,从而在这种情况下存在对于传输同步信息而言足够的传输容量。In the first synchronization method, a lower number of active mobile stations is assumed than in the second synchronization method, so that in this case there is sufficient transmission capacity for the transmission of synchronization information.
通过在有效移动站数量较少时使用第一同步方法,保证所需的同步的精确度。By using the first synchronization method when the number of active mobile stations is small, the required accuracy of synchronization is guaranteed.
通过第二同步方法,以简单的方式在蜂窝式无线电通信系统中实现时间同步和频率同步。因为第二同步方法放弃传输附加的用于同步的信令信息,其中所述信令信息迄今必须在基站和移动站之间在较高的协议层上加以交换,所以可用于实施有用数据传输的无线电传输资源保持空闲。By means of the second synchronization method, time synchronization and frequency synchronization in the cellular radio communication system are implemented in a simple manner. Since the second synchronization method dispenses with the transmission of additional signaling information for synchronization, which previously had to be exchanged on a higher protocol layer between the base station and the mobile station, it can be used for carrying out the transmission of useful data. Radio transmission resources remain free.
在第二同步方法中,特别有利地使得以下情况成为可能,即特别毗邻的基站使用储备的无线电传输资源,其中所述储备被公共地配属给用于数据传输的基站。由此使得特别有效的无线电资源管理成为可能。在单个的无线电小区中引入或实现可用无线电传输资源的动态利用。In the second synchronization method, it is particularly advantageously possible for particularly adjacent base stations to use reserved radio transmission resources, the reserves being commonly assigned to the base stations used for data transmission. This enables particularly efficient radio resource management. A dynamic utilization of available radio transmission resources is introduced or implemented in individual radio cells.
在第二同步方法中,根据当前通信量负荷,分别最佳地配置可用的无线电传输资源,其中特别有利地对不均匀分布的用户占据进行均衡。In the second synchronization method, depending on the current traffic load, the available radio transmission resources are allocated optimally in each case, wherein the unevenly distributed user occupation is particularly advantageously balanced.
在第二同步方法中,在一个优选的实施方案中,在考虑在要选择的无线电传输资源上的干扰状况的情况下,实现无线电传输资源的分配。由此可能的是,例如只要在选择的时隙中的干扰状况允许,两个相邻的基站同时共同地使用载频的时隙作为无线电传输资源,以便无线电覆盖移动站,其中所述相邻的基站中的每个单独的基站分别无线电覆盖配属给它的移动站。In the second synchronization method, in a preferred embodiment, the assignment of the radio transmission resources takes place taking into account the interference situation at the radio transmission resources to be selected. It is thus possible, for example, for two adjacent base stations to jointly use a time slot of a carrier frequency as a radio transmission resource at the same time, in order to radio cover a mobile station, as long as the interference situation in the selected time slot permits, wherein the adjacent Each individual base station of the base stations respectively has radio coverage for the mobile stations assigned to it.
无线电传输资源例如通过公共配属的载频的时隙来确定。The radio transmission resources are determined, for example, by time slots of a commonly assigned carrier frequency.
通过第二同步方法,在单个的无线电小区中实现可用的无线电传输资源的动态利用,其中所述的第二同步方法通过在接收侧的信号处理和对基站或移动站的同步状态的后续调整加以实施。根据当前的通信量负荷,始终最佳地配置可用的无线电传输资源。特别有利的是,在此对在毗邻无线电小区中不均匀分布的用户占据进行均衡。A dynamic utilization of the available radio transmission resources in the individual radio cells is achieved by means of a second synchronization method which is implemented by signal processing on the receiving side and subsequent adjustment of the synchronization state of the base station or mobile station implement. Depending on the current traffic load, the available radio transmission resources are always optimally allocated. It is particularly advantageous here to equalize the uneven distribution of subscriber occupations in adjacent radio cells.
第二同步方法使得能够在基站侧和/或在移动站侧应用干扰抑制方法,因为干扰抑制方法尤其是对于相互同步的有用信号和干扰信号是最佳的。The second synchronization method enables the application of interference suppression methods on the base station side and/or on the mobile station side, since interference suppression methods are optimized especially for mutually synchronized wanted and interfering signals.
第二同步方法使得例如在大型集会时以简单的方式加入另外的基站成为可能,或者由此使得伴随的无线电小区数量的改变成为可能。The second synchronization method makes it possible, for example, to easily add additional base stations in the event of large gatherings, or thereby to enable an accompanying change in the number of radio cells.
不仅在第一同步方法中而且在第二同步方法中,加入的基站如此动态地选择无线电传输资源,从而使对毗邻无线电小区的干扰或对分别配属于所述毗邻无线电小区的移动站的同信道干扰最小化。Both in the first synchronization method and in the second synchronization method, the participating base stations select the radio transmission resources dynamically such that interference with adjacent radio cells or co-channel interference with mobile stations respectively assigned to the adjacent radio cells Interference is minimized.
根据本发明的方法特别优选地在OFDM无线电通信系统中加以使用,其中所述OFDM无线电通信系统特别优选地应用于具有较高数据速率的业务。The method according to the invention is particularly preferably used in an OFDM radio communication system, wherein the OFDM radio communication system is particularly preferably used for services with relatively high data rates.
根据本发明的方法包括应用基于多个阈值的选择或同步方法。例如通过两个阈值确定阈值范围,由此实现“平缓”的选择或在同步方法之间的切换。The method according to the invention consists of applying a selection or synchronization method based on a plurality of thresholds. For example, two thresholds are used to determine the threshold range, whereby a "smooth" selection or switchover between synchronization methods is achieved.
借助于相应配置的阈值范围,例如能够在选择同步方法时应用必要时关于时间所实施的滞后函数(Hysterese-Funktion)。By means of correspondingly configured threshold value ranges, for example, a hysteresis function (hysteresis function) which may be implemented with respect to time can be applied when selecting a synchronization method.
特别有利地,减少偶尔会较差接收的移动站对选择同步方法的影响。It is particularly advantageous to reduce the influence of occasionally poorly received mobile stations on the selection of the synchronization method.
下面借助附图详细说明第二同步方法。The second synchronization method will be explained in more detail below with reference to the figures.

图1针对其他的移动无线电系统代表性地示出具有根据本发明的第二同步的OFDM无线电通信系统。FIG. 1 schematically shows an OFDM radio communication system with a second synchronization according to the invention for other mobile radio systems.
三个毗邻的无线电小区FZ1至FZ3分别具有一个所配属的基站BTS1至BTS3。基站BTS01至BTS03中每个单个的基站服务多个分别配属于无线电小区FZ1至FZ3的移动站T11至T33。在此,将总共四个移动站T11至T14分配给第一基站BTS1以进行无线电覆盖,而将总共五个基站T21至T25分配给第二基站BTS2以进行无线电覆盖。将总共三个移动站T31至T33分配给第三基站BTS3以进行无线电覆盖。Three adjacent radio cells FZ1 to FZ3 each have an associated base station BTS1 to BTS3 . Each individual base station of the base stations BTS01 to BTS03 serves a plurality of mobile stations T11 to T33 respectively assigned to a radio cell FZ1 to FZ3 . In this case, a total of four mobile stations T11 to T14 are assigned to the first base station BTS1 for radio coverage, and a total of five base stations T21 to T25 are assigned to the second base station BTS2 for radio coverage. A total of three mobile stations T31 to T33 are assigned to the third base station BTS3 for radio coverage.
所有三个基站BTS1至BTS3为传输用户数据同等地使用共同的载频资源,所述载频资源总共具有十二个载频f1至f12。在称作“下行链路”DL的从基站到移动站的连接方向上,载频f1至f12中的每一个载频具有七个时隙TS1至TS7作为传输资源,而在称作“上行链路”UL的从移动站到基站的连接方向上,载频f1至f12中的每一个载频具有五个时隙TS1至TS5作为传输资源。示例性地,空闲的未使用的时隙配属于载频f2、f8和f12,并且用字母“F”表示。All three base stations BTS1 to BTS3 equally use a common carrier frequency resource, which has a total of twelve carrier frequencies f1 to f12, for the transmission of user data. In the connection direction from the base station to the mobile station called "downlink" DL, each of the carrier frequencies f1 to f12 has seven time slots TS1 to TS7 as transmission resources, while in the direction called "uplink" Each of the carrier frequencies f1 to f12 has five time slots TS1 to TS5 as transmission resources in the direction of connection from the mobile station to the base station in "UL". By way of example, free unused time slots are assigned to carrier frequencies f2 , f8 and f12 and are designated with the letter "F".
与图3相比,在这里通过根据本发明的第二同步取消载频f1至f12到基站或无线电小区的唯一的分配。In contrast to FIG. 3 , here the exclusive assignment of the carrier frequencies f1 to f12 to the base stations or radio cells is eliminated by the second synchronization according to the invention.
针对第二和第三无线电小区FZ2和FZ3代表性地,下面详细说明根据本发明的第二同步方法。在此,在这里“同步”应理解为既是载频的时隙在时间上的同步,又是载频的频率同步。Representatively for the second and third radio cells FZ2 and FZ3 , the second synchronization method according to the invention will be explained in detail below. Here, "synchronization" here should be understood as not only the time slot synchronization of the carrier frequency, but also the frequency synchronization of the carrier frequency.
第一无线电小区FZ1的第一基站BTS1在上行链路UL中除了接收配属给它的移动站T11至T14的信号,还接收附加的来自毗邻的无线电小区FZ2和FZ3的移动站的信号。这种接收自动地进行,无须附加地监控另外的频带。In the uplink UL, the first base station BTS1 of the first radio cell FZ1 receives, in addition to the signals of the mobile stations T11 to T14 assigned to it, additional signals from the mobile stations of the adjacent radio cells FZ2 and FZ3. This reception takes place automatically without additional monitoring of additional frequency bands.
例如,第一基站BTS1在上行链路中还接收第二无线电小区FZ2的移动站T21和T22的信号和第三无线电小区FZ3的移动站T31和T32的信号。基于所接收的毗邻的无线电小区FZ2和FZ3的移动站信号,第一基站BTS1确定第一时间偏差和第一频率偏差,并且从这些值中推导出适当地时间同步值和频率同步值,第一基站BTS1最终同步到所述同步值上。在下面的图2中将示范性地对此进行说明。For example, the first base station BTS1 also receives the signals of the mobile stations T21 and T22 of the second radio cell FZ2 and the signals of the mobile stations T31 and T32 of the third radio cell FZ3 in the uplink. Based on the received mobile station signals of the adjacent radio cells FZ2 and FZ3, the first base station BTS1 determines a first time offset and a first frequency offset and derives appropriate time synchronization values and frequency synchronization values from these values, the first The base station BTS1 eventually synchronizes to said synchronization value. This is exemplarily illustrated in FIG. 2 below.
对于所有移动站代表性地,注意到,在下行链路DL中第一无线电小区FZ1的第三移动站T13除了接收自身无线电小区FZ1的基站BTS1的信号,还接收毗邻的无线电小区FZ2和FZ3的基站BTS2和BTS3的信号。基于所接收的基站信号,第三移动站T13,则确定第二时间偏差和第二频率偏差,并且从这些值中推导出适当的时间同步值和频率同步值,移动站T13最终同步到所述同步值。Typically for all mobile stations, note that in the downlink DL the third mobile station T13 of the first radio cell FZ1 receives signals from the adjacent radio cells FZ2 and FZ3 in addition to the signals from the base station BTS1 of the own radio cell FZ1 Signals of base stations BTS2 and BTS3. Based on the received base station signal, the third mobile station T13 then determines the second time offset and the second frequency offset, and derives appropriate time synchronization values and frequency synchronization values from these values, the mobile station T13 finally synchronizes to the sync value.
根据本发明的第二同步方法例如以帧方式加以重复,由此按时间上的平均值得到精确的、自组织的时间同步和频率同步。The second synchronization method according to the invention repeats, for example, in a frame-wise manner, whereby a precise, self-organized time synchronization and frequency synchronization is obtained as a mean over time.
通过第二同步方法,特别有利地实现特别灵活和自适应实现的无线电资源管理,因为所有基站能够访问公共的无线电传输资源储备。在此,例如在考虑最小同信道干扰的情况下实现载频的选择。传输资源到移动站的分配完全通过各个移动站分别配属的基站来实施。A particularly flexible and adaptively implemented radio resource management is particularly advantageously achieved by means of the second synchronization method, since all base stations have access to a common reserve of radio transmission resources. In this case, the selection of the carrier frequency takes place, for example, taking into account minimal co-channel interference. The allocation of transmission resources to the mobile stations is carried out entirely by the base station to which the respective mobile stations are assigned.
通过所取消的载频对基站或无线电小区的唯一的分配使得以下情况称为可能,即例如当在时隙TS5中干扰状况允许时,用于无线电覆盖移动站T14的基站BTS1和用于无线电覆盖移动站T32的基站BTS3同时使用载频f5的时隙TS5。这个干扰状况例如受在基站上的扇形化的接收和/或发射天线影响、或受无线电信号的传播特性影响、或受在用户之间的空间距离等影响。The unique assignment of the canceled carrier frequency to the base station or radio cell makes it possible, for example, that the base station BTS1 for the radio coverage mobile station T14 and the base station BTS1 for the radio coverage The base station BTS3 of the mobile station T32 uses the time slot TS5 of the carrier frequency f5 at the same time. This interference situation is influenced, for example, by sectorized receiving and/or transmitting antennas at the base station, or by the propagation properties of the radio signal, or by the spatial distance between the users, or the like.
在扇形化中,用于发射或用于接收无线电信号的基站例如具有三个天线装置,这些装置中的每一个天线装置无线电覆盖张角为120°的扇区。由此实现无线电信号的空间分离或区分,并且依照扇区张角的选择来实现干扰状况的改善。In sectorization, a base station for transmitting or for receiving radio signals has, for example, three antenna arrangements, each of which radio covers a sector with an opening angle of 120°. This results in a spatial separation or differentiation of the radio signals and, depending on the selection of the sector opening angle, an improvement in the interference situation.
对于不均匀的无线电小区负荷的情况,三个基站中的每个基站根据需要完全或部分地访问载频的无线电资源,由此当在单个的无线电小区中同时突出的超负荷时避免在单个的无线电小区中的瓶颈。根据本发明的第二同步方法独立地加以实施,并且既不需要花费大的信令也不需要花费大的GPS时间同步。In the case of an uneven radio cell load, each of the three base stations has full or partial access to the radio resources of the carrier frequency as required, thereby avoiding the simultaneous overloading of individual radio cells in the individual radio cells. Bottlenecks in radio cells. The second synchronization method according to the invention is implemented independently and requires neither expensive signaling nor expensive GPS time synchronization.
图2基于图1示出在基站BTS1方面所实施的第二同步方法。FIG. 2 shows on the basis of FIG. 1 a second synchronization method implemented on the part of base station BTS1.
竖直地,针对每个单独的移动站分别示出移动站特定的载频偏差。所考察的第一基站BTS1在上行方向上接收由移动站T21、T22、T12、T13、T11、T31和T32所发射的信号,并且由此确定同步值d1,所述同步值d1在这里示范性地作为平均值通过阴影线的矩形来示出。基站BTS1相应地在正的同步值d1方向上校正其同步。相应的也适用于另外的基站BTS2和BTS3。Vertically, the mobile station-specific carrier frequency offset is shown for each individual mobile station. The first base station BTS1 under consideration receives the signals transmitted by the mobile stations T21, T22, T12, T13, T11, T31 and T32 in the uplink direction and determines therefrom a synchronization value d1, which is here exemplarily Ground is shown as the mean value by the hatched rectangle. The base station BTS1 accordingly corrects its synchronization in the direction of a positive synchronization value d1. The same applies to the further base stations BTS2 and BTS3.
可与此相比较地,实现在这里未详细说明的各个移动站的同步。In contrast to this, a synchronization of individual mobile stations not described in detail here is achieved.
如果在所谓的蜂窝式无线电通信系统中单独地或相互组合地使用TDMA/FDMA多址方法,并且为了进行传输使用所谓的时分双工传输模式(TDD-Mode),那么在基站上所接收的信号r(t)包括所有无线电小区的以FDMA多址方法同时发射的移动站的多个信号的叠加。If the TDMA/FDMA multiple access method is used alone or in combination with each other in a so-called cellular radio communication system and the so-called time-division duplex transmission mode (TDD-Mode) is used for transmission, the signal received at the base station r(t) includes the superposition of a plurality of signals of mobile stations transmitting simultaneously with the FDMA multiple access method of all radio cells.
每个基站根据所接收的信号r(t)得到位于毗邻无线电小区中的移动站的叠加的0FDM符号的平均的接收时间点。From the received signal r(t), each base station obtains the averaged reception times of the superimposed OFDM symbols of mobile stations located in adjacent radio cells.
借助于相邻的、以OFDM符号长度N的间距排列的采样值的校正,形成针对采样值k的量度λ(k),它的值也在OFMA符号长度为N的FDMA上行链路情况下具有周期性的值。By means of the correction of adjacent sample values arranged at a distance of OFDM symbol length N, a measure λ(k) is formed for sample value k, whose value also has in the case of an FDMA uplink with OFMA symbol length N Periodic value.
有:have:
在此,M表示窗长度,通过所述窗长度以减少噪声为目的来对量度值取平均。这通常与所谓“保护间隙”的长度是相同的。可能地,为了改善检测特性而选择偏差的校正过的值的间距N的长度和窗口长度M。In this case, M denotes the window length over which the measured values are averaged for the purpose of noise reduction. This is usually the same length as the so-called "guard gap". Possibly, the length of the interval N of the corrected values of the deviation and the window length M are selected in order to improve the detection characteristics.
替代在各个基站上的移动站信号分量的平均的时间偏差,量度的绝对值|λ(k)|假定为这样的值,该值是与从这个小区所接收的移动站的信号的功率和成比例的。由于这个原因,根据计算量度值来寻找最大的量度绝对值|λ(k)|,并且将最大绝对值的位置继续用作各个基站的时间偏移量的估计值。所述量度值在保留的剩余的载频偏差的情况下是复数,因此根据在量度最大值中所测量的、载频偏差的较小值的相位,能够确定在OFDM符号中所接收的信号的平均的载频偏差的近似值。Instead of the mean time deviation of the mobile station signal components at the various base stations, the absolute value of the measure |λ(k)| proportional. For this reason, the largest metric absolute value |λ(k)| is found from the calculated metric values, and the position of the largest absolute value continues to be used as an estimate of the time offset for each base station. The metric value is a complex number in the case of the remaining remaining carrier frequency deviation, so that the phase of the signal received in the OFDM symbol can be determined from the phase of the smaller value of the carrier frequency deviation measured in the maximum value of the metric. Approximate value of average carrier frequency deviation.
有利地,为了分开不同移动站的FDMA信号,在频域中对所接收的信号进行分析,因为这些信号配属于不同的子载波。载频偏差在这种情况下分别根据在每个子载波上所接收的OFDM符号的相位旋转加以实现。Advantageously, in order to separate the FDMA signals of different mobile stations, the received signals are evaluated in the frequency domain, since these signals are assigned to different subcarriers. In this case, the carrier frequency deviation is effected in each case as a function of the phase rotation of the OFDM symbols received on each subcarrier.
在此,根据在具有时间下标n和n+1的两个连续的0FDM符号的子载波之间的、部分载频k的传输因数H(n,k)在时间间隔Ts中的相位改变,得到部分载频的频率偏差δf(k)。因此有:Here, according to the phase change in the time interval T s of the transmission factor H(n,k) of the partial carrier frequency k between the subcarriers of two consecutive OFDM symbols with time indices n and n+1 , get the frequency deviation δf(k) of part of the carrier frequency. Thus there are:
根据毗邻无线电小区的在频域中估计之后存在的载频偏差值,在依照估计的质量进行评估之后确定从相邻无线电小区所接收的移动站的例如平均的载频偏差。From the carrier frequency offset values of the adjacent radio cells present after estimation in the frequency domain, for example an average carrier frequency offset of the mobile stations received from the adjacent radio cells is determined after evaluation according to the quality of the estimation.
根据在所接收的配属于同一基站的移动站的OFDM符号之间的相位旋转,分别确定时间偏差。根据在频域中估计之后存在的时间偏差值,在依照估计的质量进行评估之后确定从相邻无线电小区所接收的移动站的例如平均的时间偏差。The time offsets are respectively determined from the phase rotation between the received OFDM symbols of the mobile stations assigned to the same base station. From the time offset values present after the estimation in the frequency domain, for example an average time offset of mobile stations received from neighboring radio cells is determined after evaluation in terms of the quality of the estimate.
借助于所确定的时间偏差和载频偏差,每个基站分别根据所确定的值来调整自身的载频和自身的发射时间点。在适当的调整回路环路滤波器的设计中,这个过程自动地导致收敛的估计。With the aid of the determined time offset and carrier frequency offset, each base station adjusts its own carrier frequency and its own transmission time according to the determined values. In the design of a properly tuned loop loop filter, this process automatically leads to an estimate of convergence.
针对根据本发明的第二同步方法,对于在TDD无线电通信系统中新出现的基站而言要求以下步骤:For the second synchronization method according to the invention, the following steps are required for a base station newly present in a TDD radio communication system:
-监听上行链路和下行链路以确定TDD帧结构,- Listen uplink and downlink to determine TDD frame structure,
-确定所有的所测量的接收时间点的、绝对的发射时间点,以及- determination of the absolute transmit time points for all measured receive time points, and
-按照前面所述的模式来分析信号。-Analyze the signal according to the pattern described earlier.
每个基站在上行链路方面确定在无线电小区中有效的移动站的有用功率,以及确定每个子载波的来自毗邻无线电小区的同信道干扰功率。On the uplink, each base station determines the useful power of the mobile station active in the radio cell and the co-channel interference power per subcarrier from adjacent radio cells.
基于这些信息,每个基站作出独立的关于要占据的带宽的决定。选择具有最小干扰功率的那一个子载波。在此,基站依赖于可达到的信道质量作出自适应的关于要占据的子载波的位置和数量以及要应用的物理传输参数的决定,以便能够最佳地无线电覆盖位于无线电小区内的移动站。干涉小区的组织是不必要的。Based on this information, each base station makes an independent decision about the bandwidth to occupy. The one with the least interference power is selected. Depending on the available channel quality, the base station makes an adaptive decision regarding the position and number of subcarriers to be occupied and the physical transmission parameters to be used in order to be able to provide optimal radio coverage of the mobile stations located in the radio cell. Interfering with the organization of the community is unnecessary.
这种多址避免无线电小区内的干扰和在毗邻无线电小区的移动站之间的干扰。所应用的多址方法的居于支配地位小区的自组织的优化被实施。在考虑无线电传输信道特性的情况下和在考虑在蜂窝式环境中瞬时干扰状况的情况下实现这种优化。Such multiple access avoids interference within a radio cell and between mobile stations in adjacent radio cells. An ad hoc optimization of the dominant cell of the applied multiple access method is carried out. This optimization is carried out taking into account the characteristics of the radio transmission channel and taking into account the instantaneous interference situation in the cellular environment.
